B-2 Supply Chain Velocity Initiative

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is seeking qualified defense contractors to serve as a neutral, program-controlled integrator for the B-2 Spirit bomber supply chain regeneration initiative, aiming to mitigate critical parts obsolescence through reverse engineering and the development of government-owned Technical Data Packages. The effort requires an entity with proven experience as a prime integrator for low-density, aging strategic aircraft fleets, excluding any B-2 Original Equipment Manufacturers or their primary mission-system affiliates due to inherent Organizational Conflicts of Interest. Applicants must possess specialized infrastructure, including SAP-cleared facilities with hangar space and runway access capable of supporting large-body aircraft like the B-2, and demonstrate a robust capability in reverse engineering military-unique components, securing Government Purpose or Unlimited Rights to technical data, and establishing a qualified, distributed supplier network under a hub-and-spoke model. All submissions are limited to a single 10-page capability statement and must be electronically submitted via the DoD SAFE portal by May 11, 2026, with no pricing information requested or permitted. Evaluation is binary and based on five mandatory factors: corporate neutrality, demonstrated prime integrator experience, specialized infrastructure and security, engineering and data acquisition expertise, and supplier network enablement; failure to verify any one factor results in automatic disqualification. Performance will occur at designated government sites in Tinker AFB and Coffeyville, Oklahoma, where the contractor will manage airworthiness qualifications for regenerated parts and deliver complete, validated Level 3 Technical Data Packages to support long-term sustainment of the B-2 fleet.
